Stella Rosa

"Beach location, dog friendly"

"Great floor plan and location on the beach is perfect."

"Great view! Nice location in general on Corolla. Loved having our fur baby with us."

"Lot of space for our group and that it’s pet-friendly."

"What we loved the most: gorgeous view and very comfortable beds. The two refrigerators and dishwashers were very helpful."

"Absolutely FANTASTIC views, with a terrific family room/kitchen/dining setup for enjoying togetherness AND watching the waves. Great house layout. Very, very clean and comfortable! We'd definitely rent here again...and our family and goldendoodle LOVED the space and easy access to the beach!"

"Overall, we had a fantastic time on our vacation. The house was great, with the dual refrigerators, stoves, coffee makers, etc. The layout of the house is excellent with apparently many new upgrades for 2021. The beds are very comfortable and a good size. The location is very convenient, walking distance to shopping, which also helps when you need something from the Food Lion. The house itself sits close to the beach so when sitting on the upper deck it seems as though you are on the beach. Also, the house sits midway between two public access points so the beach in front of the house is almost your own private beach. The pool is big with lots of room to sit around it and it gets sun most of the day. The only negative about the pool was that there is a lot of sand in the pool area. Probably due to the close proximity to the dune and the sand blows in. This results in the sand always being in the pool. It would be helpful if the sand was removed from the pool area at the start of the rental week. Simply shoveling the sand back into the dune would help tremendously. We also think that the carpeting on the second floor needs to be changed out as it is very stained. Maybe the same flooring that was put on the top floor would work best. Though we have vacationed in OBX for many years this was the first time for us to stay at this particular house and, we were not disappointed. This is the best house/location combination so far!"

"We think Stella Rosa is the best beach house at OBX we've stayed in! We loved everything about this house. The beach views and easy access was unparalleled (we also paid a cabana company to set up a tent on the beach daily-- amazing and worth every penny). The beds were comfortable and bedrooms nice/spacious, loved en suite bathrooms for almost all the bedrooms. The kitchen had two dishwashers and two full sized refrigerator-freezers, and a separate ice maker machine, and two stovetops. Our large family loved the pool and pagoda, and we appreciated the large driveway for our numerous cars, the bball hoop using it for corn hole (we also corn-holed on the beach and by the pool). Loved the large teal sectional in the main living area, the huge dining table, kitchen bar seating and the game table nook. And again-- the ocean VIEWS from everywhere-- even from the middle level! Hot tub was fully enjoyed, house had great water pressure, ample hot water, and the AC worked really well (also ceiling fans available in many rooms). Surround sound tv in top floor main living area was really enjoyed by the teens in our group. House seemed well built and noise didn't travel through walls and ceilings nearly as much as it does in some houses; we were impressed by that. Our teens and adults alike enjoyed the game room pool and foosball tables. Truthfully, my only complaint is that the elevator wasn't working the week we came, which for us was a disappointment --especially for the unloading and loading days, but life isn't perfect and we made it work (and Twiddy provided someone to help us unload, which was great)! Everyone had great things to say about the house and it's super convenient location and amazing views and private beach access. We felt like the beach in front of the house was our private beach since it's down a bit from the public access points on either side. I think for it's size, access and amenities it was a good value compared to a lot of other big oceanfront houses we considered. We would choose this house again in a heartbeat if we brought a big group to OBX again."

"This was our fifth year at Stella Rosa. We appreciate all the upgrades including new flooring, new dishwashers, new island cooktop and additional deck furniture. And the ocean views are exceptional."

"Lovely home, perfect location, new appliances, comfortable beds, incredible view of the ocean."

"I agree with the person in November. Several things had to be attended to while we were there but it did not hinder us from having a fabulous time there. Everyone enjoyed the heated pool. I hope they will update the house for upcoming guests, but it's still a nice place to stay. Thanks."

"Great house - overall good condition and very clean. Good house for a large family - two refrigerators and two dishwashers. Great location - the view was incredible! We had such a great time staying at Stella Rosa. Whalehead beach was very clean and not overcrowded. I'm sad I had to go home."

"Very enjoyable home. Clean and bright in a great location with an excellent view. Enjoyed every minute at the home ...."

"Beautiful home with everything one needs for a great vacation! The floors r updated and look great! The pool table is top notch the JJen air stove tops were amazing the kitchen was soooo much fun to cook in and had everything u needed! The beds were very comfortable and provided extra pillows n blankets! We had the best vacation ever! Ty Twiddy"

"This home is in good condition and has all the amenities we could want. We actually made our family Thanksgiving dinner there and had all we needed in the kitchen. It is a house that has been in service as a rental for a while, and you can tell. But it's well maintained. There were a handful of maintenance issues that we had to report, but nothing that interfered with our enjoyment. And they responded promptly, even during Thanksgiving week. So there really isn't much more to ask."

"Lovely home with a lot of nice features. We stayed here 4 years ago and had a wonderful stay both times. The house needs some attention and updating."
